I looked back at the beginning of this year, precisely 14th January 2019 when I started working at a private primary school. Three weeks later, I was told that I had to be taking two primary five students extra lessons after closing (3pm), and the pay was 1k each. With my monthly salary which was 13,000 added to the "1k" each makes 15 thousand.

You would think I earned 13k for three months abi! No I didn't. The first salary I got was the half of 13k. The woman just called the staff on the 28th of January and gave me 6.5k. I had no idea what was going on and I thought she was going to balance up at the beginning of February just like she said while addressing us but it was a lie. it was at the end of the term, the third month April, that I got to know I am being ripped off. She said she was going to pay 5000 naira at the end of the term as salary because school opened for just 10 days. It was the greatest shock of my life. A graduate, a grown up man like me, taking 5000 naira home!!
I wanted to leave but I couldn't because I wouldn't be paid for the common entrance lesson and I had not gotten any other opportunities elsewhere.

Sometimes in early February, She called me that I would be handling primary 5 Common entrance lessons which is meant to hold every Saturday and at the end of the third term the money will be shared between Me, a staff that partners me and the proprietress. She said the money will be shared 60%(I and another man) to 40%(the proprietress). The formula was very unfair and strange to me. The sharing formula seemed very strange to me and I challenged it but she enforced it.

Fast forward to early this month, precisely 3rd of July, the proprietress started acting strange and insulting all the workers and all that. The following week she sent one of the oldest staff by to inquire what will be the staff reaction if they are not paid at the end if the term. The staff said they won't agree to such and some even threaten various actions. Fast forward to Thursday 25th of July, vacation day. the woman started up a plethora of complaints deliberately she said she was going to pay 4000 as July salary. The same thing she did at the end of second term. At the end she ended up not paying a dime. She didn't pay any of us. Not even the common entrance lesson which made me stay.

I cried and stayed inside throughout Friday. I had a deep thinking, with my academic background! Was it that I didn't know my worth? with all my struggles to be successful academically I am now slaving in one private school for a paltry sum of 15k, money wey I no fit cope with as an undergraduate! Money wey be say no reach my NYSC allawe!
I really feel for graduates going through phases like this. I really feel for graduates teaching at private schools. I pray better days finds you and I soon.

Hello Writer, I just laughed after reading your epistle because I once passed thru this phase of life. I was squatting with my sister in 2014 and teaching as well. But today, God changed my story for good... My advise to you is that you should keep pushing and never you forget God Almighty. Keep praying and ensure you pay your TITHE. Also, learn to sow dangerous seed and you will see things working for your favour. God bless you.

I started collecting 23k when I was teaching in a secondary school, but thank God I spent 6 months there before God miraculously provided job for me. Now I am an Assistant Lecturer in a Federal University. Though you can start small,you will end well. When I was collecting 23k ,I didn't think about marriage. Now am happily married with a kid.

The government is only concerned about the tax the school will pay, they are not involved/ interested in their welfare, The real issue is the problem of mushroom schools, someone can just convert his house into a school and employ teachers, how can such schools pay above minimum wage.
The parents have no say over the issue, what can a parent who pays #7500 per term in a school say over the such, the highest paying schools tax the parents well and they pay the teachers reasonably well

tayecrypto:
Thats sad, i made X3 of that amount in less than 3weeks just in my bedroom. I created a topic yesterday to coach interested student and graduates without job yet but i was surprised that the mods delete the topic.

noble2faith:

placeofallure:
Look for good and standard schools. I teach in a private primary school and I earn 6 digits every month. If I do private lesson for any child, the least I'll take is 50k. Pele, it's just a passing phase but you have to leave that school ASAP!

Instead of working in all these quack private schools, I better stay idle
